  • Publication number: 20230058195
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided, which includes a first semiconductor structure, a second semiconductor structure, and an active region. The first semiconductor structure includes a first semiconductor layer which includes a first dopant and a second dopant. The second semiconductor structure is located on the first semiconductor structure and includes the first dopan. The active region is located between the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure and includes the first dopant. The first dopant and the second dopant have different conductivity types.

  • Patent number: 11588072
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided, which includes a first semiconductor structure, a second semiconductor structure, and an active region. The first semiconductor structure includes a first dopant. The second semiconductor structure is located on the first semiconductor structure and includes a second dopant different from the first dopant. The active region includes a plurality of semiconductor pairs and is located between the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure. One of the plurality of semiconductor pairs has a barrier layer and a well layer and includes the first dopant. The barrier layer has a first thickness and a first Al content, and the well layer has a second thickness and a second Al content, the second thickness is less than the first thickness, and the second Al content is less than the first Al content.
    Type: Grant
